Hi

I have encountered a possible bug when stacking and unstacking variables in Eviews. The error has only surfaced in the past month and I suspect this was after I installed the patch from March. In am currently using Eviews 7.2 with the patch from April.
Anyways, my problem is the following: When I stack a number of variables and make a forecast in panel framework - then my forecast are for some reason not recognized when unstacking these again. I have tried to exemplify the problem with the attached workfile and program.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards
Rasmus

Note a bug, rather a "feature". When unstacking, EViews will automatically determine whether a variable is a panel variable or a non-panel variable, with the difference being "does this variable have any difference between cross-sections". If there is no difference between cross-sections, EViews will only unstack it into one variable, since it seems pointless to create many variables that are all identical.

thanks for the prompt reply. I am a bit puzzled why all the forecast are identical - are the fixed effects not taken into account when generating the forecast?

Good point, we're looking in to it.

Grab the latest patch. Should fix it for you.

Great, thank you very much for your assistance :)
